Script

Derek, I forgot to tell you.
I bumped into Bill and we had coffee together.

Oh, really.
How was he doing?

Fine.
We talked a bit about your wanting to return to the band.

What?
You told him that?

Yes, It's the truth, isn't it?

Doris, that was uncalled for.
You shouldn't have said that to him.

Sorry, but I was just being honest.

What did Bill say about that idea?

Well.
